What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on character-driven storytelling without shoehorning in identity politics or diversity checklists. Characters are believable and their motivations stem from personal and social circumstances, not artificial ideological quotas. Narrative is not sacrificed for messaging, it’s all about human drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, class dynamics, and personal ambition drive the story. The film neither attacks nor demonizes religion, masculinity, or traditional roles. It reflects a slice of Brazilian urban life without condescension or revisionist gripes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is a bit of social critique regarding class differences, but the film does not push a singular ideological narrative. Various perspectives exist, and no worldview dominates or is overtly villainized. It’s refreshingly devoid of modern ideological dogma.
